Folks

A few yard birds of note visited today in our Waldorf, MD property.  They were:

Red-shouldered Hawk - adult hunting birds or mammals.  Maybe the same one of the two that stayed around most of last winter.  Photo opportunities infiltrate my head.

Black Vultures - eight over head migrating.  Two Turkey Vultures much lower.

Male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker eating peanut butter.  I hope he stays.  I got a nice picture last year. Can't have enough good pictures.  The other woodpeckers around today were Red-bellied, Downy, Hairy, and Flicker.  

Red-breasted Nuthatch - female, photographed.  Stayed all day eating Black-oiled Sunflower Seed.  Several White-breasted Nuthatches visited regularly as well.  If only a Brown-headed would show.

Several American Robins eating the ripe poke berries.

Chipping Sparrow adult - one.

Song Sparrow - chipping just down the road.

White-throated Sparrow - also first of the season at the house to show itself.

Dark-eyed Junco - first of the season at the house.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet - maybe two active little animals, one singing occasionally.

The Lincoln's Sparrow nor the House Wren did not return today.
